Probate

Through the probate process, the court will determine if the deceased's will is valid. The deceased's property will be inventoried and appraised. The deceased's debts will be paid, as will estate taxes, if applicable. The remaining property will be divided in accordance with the will. If there is no will, property will be divided according to Oregon law. Our estate administration attorneys in Springfield, Oregon, assist with all aspects of the process.

Small Estate Affidavits

Not all estates go through probate in Oregon. Small estates can be managed through a much simpler process, referred to as a small estate affidavit. A small estate is defined as an estate that holds less than $200,000 in real property and less than $75,000 in personal property.

Trust Administration

Perhaps your loved one created a trust and you have been named successor trustee. Our lawyers can assist with all aspects of trust administration.
